What are PostGIS’s requirements?

<b>“DigitalOcean supports postGIS?”</b> <br> <br>Generally speaking, D.O. does not support individual software programs or packages. According to its FAQs, D.O. only provides a “platform developed for developers who need to launch and scale their applications quickly.” <br> <br>To that end, D.O. does provide CentOS images, among others, for developers to build their droplets from. According to the website you provided, PostGIS is available for various operating systems; and CentOS is one of those operating systems. <br> <br><b>“how do I install it?”</b> <br> <br>Install instructions are available @ http://postgis.net/install
